I seem to be having a problem with High Yield missles. When using the missle it only uses the regular damage instead of the increased damage. The ComponentEnhancements.txt has the right values in it, and I tested it in the simulator.

One other question I had is about the external mount missles. I was doing some calculations with them and I noticed something. Take, for example, a ship loaded with 5 External Missle Vs. It can fire once for 600 points of damage. Take another ship loaded with 2 Capital Ship Missle Vs, same tonnage. In order to do the same amount of damage that the External missles do it only has to fire 3 times. What is seems to me is that External missles are only good for swamping the point defenses of a ship. Is this the intention behind them? If it isn't, then would it be a good idea to either increase the tonnage on normal missles back to what it was originally or make the Externals take up half as much tonnage? (Thereby requiring 5 shots with normal missles to equal one volley of External Missles)
